As far as I know there is nothing official, I think it just a part of the internet/chat/texting culture. There have been some abbreviations that have stumped me too, fortunately I have figured most of them out.

Just a thought, I think from now on I will post when I don't understand an abbreviation, that way we can all learn!Thanks for a great question!

I've got an idea here that may be of some use to those of us who come behind us.

I'll start per Mike's suggestion by entering some of the ones many of us who've been here a while understand. The rest of you can add what you think may be pertinent and one of us can compile them and make a sticky at some point.
